Let's see your Scout/Camp knives

[veitsi_poika]

as in Auckland New Zealand you have to be extremely careful with storing knives because of the humidity

Something perhaps that I have taken for granted since my basement (where I store my knives) is around 60-65 degrees (F) year round and with humidity that is near perfect... I'm blessed to have an ideal "knife humidor"

And the scout gravy train keeps rolling... added these last week The Pal Blade Co is the pre-cursor to the famous Remington scout, or is it? Which came first, the Pal or the Rem? And for the Schrade Cut Co... well let's just say "peachseed"

KEvin, I like how you Roll PAL

B Bloefield , you Camillus Scouts look great. The one with the wood covers is really interesting. I don’t think I’ve seen that one before.

That Pal is wonderful. I assume the Pal is made from old parts acquired from Remington? I looks pretty much identical.

I got home from the Adirondacks today, to a Remington in my mailbox. But it doesn’t look nearly as nice as your Pal. Lots of rust pitting, and the main blade isn’t totally full. But the bone is still good and the walk and talk on the blades is perfection. With some luck, I’ll have time to clean it up tomorrow.

I totally forgot to bring my Ulster 10th Mountain Division to the mountains this weekend. So my Camillus and my Remington performed all duties. I only remembered to take pics of the are Remington.

Great photos Buzz. These are the types of pictures that make people buy knives. Not me though.......I have will power........I think .

Kevs Pal Scout definitely looks to be Remington. Gorgeous Knife.

Getting the right background really enhances photos.

Super-nice. A have a couple with the leather belt holders, but none that actually have the box. I think that’s the first time I’ve had the pleasure of seeing the box.

Thanks Buzzbait!

Thanks Buzzbait!

It’s a great knife. My brother-in-law used one of these Westerns all through Boy Scouts, and my wife later used it all through forestry school. They have some of the most convincing jigged covers I’ve ever seen.

Strange blade for a Scout knife, but the handle sold me.

I ran into one of those today while reading “A Camper’s Guide to Knives and Axes”.

Handle same. Blade totally different. yours looks more general-purpose vs. a dagger.
